I think it’s too great a risk for the Committee to make just to keep Bama in.Exactly. No one would want to risk a conference championship loss going forward. The conference commissioners would not like that just to get Bama in.
You are assuming Bama is better than SMU. Remember Bama lost to Vandy and got smoked by a mid OU team. SMU is better than Vandy and OU.Because they want Bama in.
It is what it is. I mean Bama is the better team, but punishing SMU for playing and rewarding Bama for sitting on the couch just isn’t right.
